ECOutlet: New eco store and community comes to the web
It's always exciting to find new places to buy green products, and I have a good feeling about ECOutlet; a new online store for people who care about the planet. What I like about this one is how helpful and accessible it is. It's a great information resource, designed to help those who want to make a start on living more responsibly; each product is given a detailed description on the site, helping you make informed decisions on how to spend your money. There's also an eco-points scheme so you can see how well you're doing.
To mark the launch, ECOutlet are offering a comprehensive home energy saver kit...
For £100, you get everything you need to form the basis of an eco-friendly home, and really make a difference to your total energy consumption. The kit contains an eco-kettle, which uses 30% less energy than a standard kettle, a savaplug that cuts down the energy used by your fridge by 20%, a pack of energy saving lightbulbs (enough for a 4-bed house) and an Intellipanel - a device that reduces the amount of energy consumed by your gadgets while they're on standby. Alternatively, all these products are available separately in their energy saving section.
ECOutlet operates on the principle that it's these relatively small changes that will make a big difference to climate change, and it looks to me like they're doing a good job of making these lifestyle shifts much more achievable to everyone. Good work guys!
